Hello folks,

Apologies if bits and pieces of the info that I ask, has been requested before, but here is my situation,

I've just started music course in Sydney, mainly to get work in CD art and audio mastering work. Unfortunately one of the subjects that has to be completed is the ability to compose a song. I've been able to knock a cheap copy of Cubase SX 3 off from a bankrupt sale, and have just purchased bones Mouse keyboard.

The problem is that no MIDI data is actually getting into Cubase using your current MIDI routing.

The MIDI ouput of MK is going to the synth built in to your soundcard, rather than a synth hosted by Cubase. You may need to install a virtual MIDI port driver and use it to route the MIDI out from MK to a MIDI channel in Cubase.

Thanks for the help, joe, yep, I had no virtual cable. I installed Maple, and it seems to be working now. I went through the instruction with a little to much haist, just missed the step where I had to reboot my computer.

I'm now having problems when recording the tracks in cubase.

My first track is piano,

I'm trying to record the second track as Synth Strings 2, but the second track keeps going back to Piano when in record, (I'll have two piano tracks, rather then oee piano and one synth strings track)

Also, all the recording data falls back to the first beat, as shown below. I've tried drawing the cubase midi tracks as best as I could with hyphens.
